[edit] Merger proposal

I built this article and then found out that there was a John Cherry (Lieutenant Governor) article that already existed. The apparant purpose was to distinguish that article from John Cherry, an Australian politician. I support this merger on the basis that giving an article tag of the person's current office gets very confusing if the person attains another office. Jtmichcock 15:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I created the other entry by request from another user. I agree, it should be merged here. Gflores ^Talk 18:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, merge John Cherry (Lieutenant Governor) here to retain what is a better naming convention.--Isotope23 05:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Ooops, there wasn't any content that I could see that still needed to be merged from the older article. But when I tried merging the edit histories, I seem to have botched things terribly. I've asked for assistance at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#botched history merger WP:AN Apologies. older ≠ wiser 18:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We must be able to do better

This article is about the man who has been holding the second highest office in the state of Michigan, yet there are only a couple references for the whole stub like article. I have been spending a lot of time writing about minor parties. I have cited scores of references. I had no idea an article about a major party office holder would only have a couple citations. There has got to be a lot more information, and references about this man.--Libertyguy 01:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
